Its recomended by Magnaflow to disconnect your battery so your computer resets itself to your new system.
Give that a try.

Any other mods to your car? Also, any chance you inadvertantly snagged a wire or connector while under the car? When you say "full exhaust", what does that mean?

A "cat back" exhaust by itself should not do anything to trigger a problem.

you can't pull codes on c6 from the dic, go to an auto store, some of them will pull the codes free of charge. at least you will know what you will be chasing after. good luck.

If you installed headers, I would suspect the '02 sensors.

If you installed headers you need to adjust for the O2 sensors- they will throw error codes.
